Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
Since it's a six dice then it's out of x/6
How much is 4 to 6 ?
~3 (counting 4) 4.5.6...
So it's 3/6 = 1/2
M+15=65 could this be the answer you are possibly looking for? if the m is Mai's savings "increased by 15" would simply be adding 15 and it would be equal to 65
Answer:
He is approximately 166.6 m ahead of Ravi.
